How to make glue for Japanese paints

1.播州粒膠を膠鍋に適量入れる
必要なものは、播州粒膠、水、膠鍋、コンロ、木べら。
膠鍋も弱火で加熱できる普通の鍋でもよいです。
※同じ鍋を食材調理に使用しないでください

1. Put an appropriate amount of Banshu glue into the glue pot.

What you will need is Banshu granulated glue, water, a glue pot, a stove, and a wooden spatula.
The glue pot can also be an ordinary pot that can be heated over low heat.
*Do not use the same pot for cooking food.

2.播州粒膠1に対して水を10入れ一晩置きます。
例:膠10gだと水は100ccです。比率は膠1対水10です。
※夏場は、冷蔵庫に入れてください。
※急ぐ場合は、一晩置かずに3に進んでよいです。

2. Add 1 part Banshu Glue to 10 parts water and leave overnight.

For example, 10g of glue is 100cc of water. The ratio is 1 part glue to 10 parts water.
*Please store in the refrigerator during summer.
*If you are in a hurry, you can proceed to step 3 without leaving it overnight.

3.膨潤した膠を木べら等で丁寧にかき混ぜながら加熱する。
※沸騰させず弱火でコトコトさせ焦がさないようにしてください。(目安の温度は60度~70度)
※70度以上に加熱しない!膠が変質し接着力が落ちてしまいます。

3. Heat the swollen glue while carefully stirring it with a wooden spatula.

*Do not boil, but simmer on low heat to avoid burning. (The recommended temperature is 60 to 70 degrees.)
*Do not heat above 70 degrees! The glue will change and lose its adhesive power.

4.膠の粒々が無くなり完全に溶けたら完成です。
※膠水は、製造後数日間は冷蔵庫で保存ができます。凍結させないよう冷蔵します。凍結させてしまうと接着力がを失います。
※夏季や湯銭後35度~40度前後で放置すると腐敗してしまいます。腐敗臭や黴が発生した膠水は、接着力が落ちるだけでなくそれを使用した画面にも被害を与える可能性があります。決して使用しないようにしてください。

4. When the glue has completely dissolved and there are no more grains left, it is finished.

*Glue solution can be stored in the refrigerator for a few days after production. Be careful not to freeze it. If it freezes, it will lose its adhesive power.
*If glue is left in the summer or at around 35-40 degrees after boiling, it will rot. Glue that has a putrid smell or mold will not only lose its adhesive power, but it may also damage the screen it is used on. Please do not use it under any circumstances.
